Project description:Frequently observed in tropical and sub-tropical regions, crops contamination by aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) produced by Aspergillus flavus, is emerging in Europe, due to climate change. Many alternative methods are currently developed to reduce the use of chemical inputs to prevent mycotoxin contamination, such as biocontrol agents (BCAs). Actinobacteria are known to produce many bioactive compounds and some of them are able to reduce in vitro AFB1 concentration. In this context, the present study aims to analyze the effect of a cell free supernatant (CFS) from Streptomyces roseolus liquid culture on A. flavus development, as well as on its transcriptome profile using microarray assay and its impact on AFB1 concentration. To study the impact of Streptomyces roseolus cell free supernatant on global transcriptome of Aspergillus flavus we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling.
Project description:Many Trichoderma spp. are successful plant beneficial microbial inoculants due to their ability to act as biocontrol agents with direct antagonistic activities to phytopathogens, and as biostimulants capable of promoting plant growth. This work investigates the effects of treatments with three selected Trichoderma (strains T22, TH1 and GV41) to strawberry plants on the productivity and proteome of the formed fruit. Proteomic analysis of fruits,harvested from the plants previously treated with Trichoderma and control plants was performed by using a TMT-based protein quantification strategy. Bioinformatic analysis of the differential proteins accumulation in fruits, harvested from the treated plants, revealed a central network of interacting molecular species, that demonstrated the modulation of different plant physiological processes following the microbial inoculation.
